Summary:

Most people know that the flip of a switch will power up toys, appliances and lights with electricity and enable them to work. But why? What is it about electricity that makes it so powerful and so dangerous? Students will learn the basic concepts of positive and negative charges, current flow and open/closed circuits, and discover why getting a shock from the carpet is like being zapped by a mini lightning bolt!

Part of the Schlessinger Science Library in Action Collection.
